Well geeks have good taste! 
I’m quite the movie fiend… I have a very diverse taste and a sick, sick addiction to filling out my DVD collection! I want so many DVDs that I could open my own rental place.
AS for the DS… I’ve talked to a few people who have had hands on time with the DS and read tons of reviews on it. They’ve all been good so I belive it’s safe to assume it won’t be a Virtual Boy. Besides the DS doesn’t have evil red lasers that make your eyes bleed :D

Aside from a few movies in your list that I don’t remember I have to say that you have an outstanding list that I would be willing to hand out as my own wish list.
I think I will be asking for the Nintendo DS for christmas, but I have not made up my mind yet. I doubt it will happen, but I would hate to see it become another Virtual Boy.
